[pianotech] Tools rush in...

[John Ross]

I'm jealous, I don't have a Harbor Freight near me.
I went in one, on my way back from Anaheim, last year.
Some great stuff.
I know the quality isn't up there, but I assume it gets the job done.
Oh well, next year on my way to Vegas, I will be able to visit again.

It has a buffer, so it doesn't bounce around. That can effect the accuracy
somewhat, but I would say it isn't much more than 0.1g off. It also reads in
grains and that is quite accurate also. It has a count feature that I
haven't tried yet. I'm going to check it out with CR felt punching to see if
I'm getting my money's worth <G>
